WP - Jason Machado is a 2005 OF/P from Canyon HS in CA. Machado is a strongly built 6'1, 175 with room to get even stronger and we think he will. He showed some nice power in his bat and tools that play easily in RF. His OF actions are very good. His arm is average at the Major League level and he can hit. His swing was a good simple stroke without any wasted motion, directly to the ball which he connected for hard hits routinely. His speed played better in the field and on the bases than it showed in the 60. He ran the bases aggressively and attacked strikes and he showed all around ability at a high level. He can also pitch with 88 mph velocity but we liked how he played the offensive side of the ball too much to project him on the mound.
